Your in-person 2017 college football schedule

[CHIP72]

I was just curious what games across all levels of college football, including obviously FCS/Division I-AA, everyone plans to attend during the 2017 season. For me personally, now that the NBA schedule has been released, I have a much better sense of what my likely schedule will be. (The NBA schedule helped dictate when I'll go visit my brother at Mississippi State; I want to see both MSU home football game and a Memphis Grizzlies game as part of that visit.)

Here's my personal, planned schedule (all times Eastern):

DEFINITE/LIKELY GAMES
09/09 (Sat): Villanova at Temple, 3:30 PM
09/23 (Sat): Penn at Lehigh, 12:30 PM
09/23 (Sat): Princeton at Lafayette, 6:00 PM
09/30 (Sat): Villanova at Towson, 6:00 PM
10/07 (Sat): Temple at East Carolina, time TBA
10/28 (Sat): Lehigh at Fordham, 1:00 PM (will attend this game if I decide to see the New Jersey Devils game on Saturday 10/28 rather than Friday 10/27)
11/04 (Sat): Lafayette at Georgetown, 2:00 PM
11/11 (Sat): Indiana (PA) at Bloomsburg, 1:00 PM (I almost definitely will attend a game that day; this is the most likely of the five possible games)
11/23 (Thu): Mississippi at Mississippi State, 7:30 PM
11/25 (Sat): Texas-El Paso at Alabama-Birmingham (depends on how long I visit my brother; East Carolina/Memphis is also a possibility)

OTHER POSSIBLE GAMES IF PLANS CHANGE
09/16 (Sat): Yale at Lehigh, 12:30 PM (would attend this game if I make a family visit on weekend of 9/16-9/17 rather than weekend of 9/23-9/24)
09/16 (Sat): Mercyhurst at East Stroudsburg, 6:00 PM (would attend this game if I make a family visit on weekend of 9/16-9/17 rather than weekend of 9/23-9/24)
09/30 (Sat): Houston at Temple, time TBA (if this game is at 12 PM ET, there's a decent change I will attend this game and then Villanova/Towson)

In addition to the above college games, I plan to attend at least four Philadelphia Eagles NFL games (9/10 at Washington, 11/5 vs Denver, 12/10 at L.A. Rams, and 12/17 at N.Y. Giants).

So which college football games do you plan to attend during the 2017 season?

[dewey]

I will be at the following games;
NDSU vs Mississippi Valley State
NDSU vs Robert Morris
NDSU vs Western Illinois

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

NDSU at EWU Sept 9th
Maybe the Griz UND game other than that none of the Griz games are going to be watchable.

I will hit up Arizona St vs Washington game Oct 14th and Texas A&M vs Alabama on the 7th of Oct.

Then I will watch NDSU win playoff games and another National Championship

[aceinthehole]

Booked:
CCSU at Syracuse
Army vs. Navy

Tentative:
UCLA vs. Oregon
UCLA at USC

[Thundar]

all NDSU home games and EWU game, TV for the rest

Only reason to go to the MVSU and Bob Morris is to tailgate, games are going to suck

[OhioHen]

Only game definitely on my schedule is JMU at ECU.

Go figure - not sure I'll make any Hen contests, but since I've relocated to Eastern North Carolina I'll take the opportunity to support an FCS team playing the local school.

[JSUSoutherner]

Kyle field is a hell of a place to see a game.

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

Kyle field is a hell of a place to see a game.I haven't been since the remodel, but it's the single best venue to see a game in college football.

Save it.....yes I've been there....and there.......and there. Only place I haven't been is LSU

LSU was overrated. But then again the stadium was half empty from the rain.

I thought Auburn was a fantastic place to see a game.

[Go Lehigh TU owl]

9/2 Villanova @ Lehigh - set in stone
9/23 Penn @ Lehigh - 95% likely
9/30 Miami (OH) @ Notre Dame - set in stone
10/7 Lehigh @ Colgate - set in stone
10/28 Lehigh @ Fordham - set in stone
11/2 Navy @ Temple or 11/4 Lehigh @ Bucknell
11/11 Holy Cross @ Lehigh - 75% likely
11/18 Lafayette @ Lehigh - set in stone

I'd like to get to a Temple game but it depends on how good we are. Also a good chance I go to a Syracuse game in September.

[UCMoc]

8/26- Jacksonville State vs UTC (Montgomery)
9/9- LSU vs UTC (Baton Rouge)
9/23 UTK vs UMass
9/30 UTK vs Georgia

11/18 UTK vs LSU
11/25 UTK vs Vandy

My kid is a student at UTK, so I have to hit most of those or I don't see her in football season.

[UCMoc]

I thought Auburn was a fantastic place to see a game.

I hit LSU in a few weeks. Auburn was nice. The two best that I have seen UTC play at were FSU and Alabama.

[BEAR]

My 2017 in person UCA schedule:

9/16: SLU at UCA- this will be a good close game!
9/30: SHSU at UCA- yeah, I'm going to tailgate.
10/14: SFA at UCA- transfer U bringing daddy home. xlolx
10/28: McNeese at UCA- revenge game!
11/18: ACU at UCA- Injury U comes to visit.

Now there are a bunch of blanks there I know. But when you have TWO boys playing school football at two different levels, everyday is a practice or a game. I just don't have time to slow down! xlolx

[JSUSoutherner]

Hopefully it won't rain on you guys at LSU. I wouldn't know anything about Bama's stadium. They are too busy fiddling with the silver spoon in their ass to play anyone else from Alabama.

My one time at your place it poured and the game was delayed several hours. It was the night you opened the new home side of the stadium.

[GetEmGriz]

My in-person 2017 college football schedule:

9/2 Montana vs Valparaiso
9/9 Montana @ Washington
9/16 Montana vs Savannah St

10/14 Montana vs North Dakota
10/28 Montana @ Weber State

11/11 Montana vs Northern Colorado
11/18 Montana @ MSU

Going to all home and away games, and some home playoff games if we get any.

[ElCid]

Too early to tell yet except for a couple. All depends on when I go to Charleston. I look forward to seeing ETSU's new stadium so I will probably go to that one for sure.

9/02 - Newberry - definitely
9/09 - PC - no, I'll be on the road
9/16 - at ETSU - probably
9/30 - at Samford - no, a bit too far
10/07 - Mercer - maybe
10/14 - Wofford - maybe
10/21 - at UTC - probably not
10/28 - VMI - maybe
11/04 - WCU - maybe
11/11 - at Furman - most likely
11/18 - at Clemson - definitely

[Evolution Prime]

SDSU vs Dusquene (8/31)

SDSU vs UNI (10/14)
SDSU vs NDSU (11/4)

Still up in the air about the SIU (10/7) and ISUr (11/11) games. I will probably end up going to the ISUr since its right after payday.

Would like to hit up a Nebraska game if I could find reasonably priced tickets.

Not swinging by Montgomery?

[dgtw]

I'm going to be in Montgomery in 11 days and then the Tech game.

I will most likely be at all our home games unless real life intervenes. I am planning on one road game. It will probably be Austin Peay.

[Scrappy94]

Chattanooga vs JSU (Guardian Credit Union FCS Kickoff/Montgomery/Neutral Site)
Chattanooga at LSU
UT-Martin at Chattanooga
Western Carolina at Chattanooga
Furman at Chattanooga
The Citadel at Chattanooga
ETSU at Chattanooga
All Chattanooga playoff games

Might add a few more road games. Not sure yet.

[POD Knows]

Every Bison Home game/Playoffs and Frisco
Plan on going to EWU game in Cheney
Might try the SDSU game in Brookings in November
Might take a look at the UNI/SDSU game in Brookings in mid-October, I may be in that area for business that week.

[JALMOND]

Tentative, subject to change

9/2---Portland State at Oregon State
9/9---Minnesota at Oregon State
9/30--Montana at Portland State
10/14--Northern Arizona at Portland State
10/28--North Dakota at Portland State
11/11--Weber State at Portland State

Right now, the plan is to go to the Montana/Portland State game, but my alma mater, Rocky Mountain College, makes their annual Oregon trip that day (they play at Southern Oregon).

Skip the Griz game and come out to the Montana State game, Jalmond.

The games I'm sure about are every Bobcat game within 400 miles.

Which is only the 6 home games.

[Bucs2016]

CSU @ SC State Sept 9th. The SC State band, live, is unmatched.
La Tech @ South Carolina. Gotta make one USC game.
USC @ Tennessee. We'll be in Gatlinburg that week. Why not.
CSU vs Liberty. Last time we'll probably ever play LU.
CSU @ Kennesaw. This SHOULD be the unofficial BSC Championsuip game.

[OhioHen]

Who will you be rootin' for? Make sure to come by the Belk lot and ask for Dirty.



Have to root for the Dukes - go CAA - go FCS. Going with a group from church so I'll probably be the only one in my area rooting for the right team.

Will try to get over and look you up if time permits.

[Ivytalk]

My plans are up in the air at the moment. I hope to catch at least one Delaware game to see Sussex Tech's Kani Kane at RB. I also plan to see a couple of D-III games at Salisbury. Other possibilities include Harvard at Columbia on 11/4 and a Georgia Southern game somewhere.

I used to go to one Liberty game each season, but not now that they are moving to FBS. Having been to the last 3 UNH games at W&M I don't think I could endure another - We are 0 for Sean McDonnel's 18 year career at Zable.

I'd like to get back down to Lehigh again- had a great time back in 2011.

[GodHelpTheBears]

I'm not buying tickets to watch the Bears play, not when our athletic department keeps giving out contract extensions to coaches that haven't earned them. I won't fund their incompetence.

[NorthChuckSouth]

Sept 09 – at SC State
Sept 16 – at Elon
Oct 14 – at PC
Sat Nov 4 – at Gardner-Webb – maybe, haven’t decided
Sat Nov 11 – at Kennesaw St. – if this is for the Big South Championship then I will absolutely be there.

[catamount man]

Have my WCU season tickets so hopefully make all the home games. My dad is having knee replacement the day after Labor Day so depending how much he needs to look after him, the house, etc, I may not make all the games. Road games? Hawaii is definitely out and again just gonna play by ear. WCU is at G-Webb and Wofford so those are short trips I "should" make. GO CATS!!!

Hey Go Lehigh TU Owl, if I attend any of the bolded games, it would be great to meet you. There's a very good chance I attend the Penn/Lehigh game and fairly good chance I attend the Lehigh/Fordham game in particular.
